Pacific has 3 very winnable games left and are a game up on San Francisco. The Dons also still have to play Gonzaga.

POLL: Would you rather St Mary’s be the 3 or 4 seed?

BYU won’t beat SMC and Gonzaga in Vegas

They could beat both, and a SMC win looks better than a win against USF. But I

Same applies to any of those teams.

You could substitute any WCC team for SMC and that sentence would

Let Gonzaga play them in the semifinals, so 4th place

I personally think the odds of a better NCAA seed are greater if SMC is a 3 seed

People forget about the NCAA committee bias.

If that happens, it wouldn't be BYU who gets left out.

Depends on the next 3 games. It might be both.

PJMort

2/16/20 2:27pm

Exactly. Results matter, not some arbitrary number of bids per conference.

byubyu

2/16/20 2:31pm

But- to the Committee the number from the WCC does matter.

Name a clearly deserving WCC team that has been left out of the tournament.....

byubyu

2/16/20 2:35pm

Not true. Clearly don’t understand the selection process. This isn’t football

Mr. Scoobs

2/16/20 3:22pm

WCC doesn’t even play football. Who doesn’t understand now?

PJMort

2/16/20 5:42pm

Selection criteria and process in b-ball postseason much different than how it

Mr. Scoobs

2/16/20 6:06pm

This is obviously a dumb discussion in the first place

PJMort

2/16/20 6:46pm

This is not how the determination works.

BYUCLA

2/16/20 2:25pm

Yeah- 4 teams from the WCC. Sure.

PJMort

2/16/20 2:30pm

Ehh could happen. Likely SMC is left out but their resume isn’t bad

chitownboy

2/16/20 5:42pm

Well- since nobody besides Gonzaga and SMC has ever won the WCC tournament.

PJMort

2/16/20 5:47pm

If the WCC has 4 deserving teams, 4 will get in. E.g. if Pacific beats SMC

Sorry, you must have been watching a different committee than I have.

SMC.

2/16/20 2:36pm

BYU won't be the one left out. Can't remember a time BYU was deserving and got

Broda

2/16/20 2:40pm

Wrong. A year after the committee said to bulk up your non conference schedule

byubyu

2/16/20 2:40pm

Sorry that was 2016. 2018 still didn't learn their lesson and played the 296th

byubyu

2/16/20 2:45pm

Nah this would be worse for SMC than us, we have a much stronger resume, We are

akmewg

2/16/20 5:03pm

We need 2 more wins at least IMO, maybe 3.

PJMort

2/16/20 7:01pm

If we beat SCU we don’t have to worry about more than 1

I would hate to end the season with 3 straight losses.

PJMort

2/16/20 8:54pm

We can lose @Pepperdine and still win a game or two in the WCC tourney

If a 4th team wins...

Of course BYU want to play St Mary’s one more
